Abstract

A brief review of the regional aspects of the landslide problem in the St. Lawrence River lowlands is presented. More detailed studies of landslides in the area around Ottawa are stressed. A method of analysis for slopes is suggested in which particular attention is given to the weathered surface layers of the clay. Some of the conditions leading to large retrogressive landslides are considered.


Les auteurs passent en revue les aspects régionaux du problème des éboulements dans les basses-terres du fleuve Saint- Laurent. Les éboulements dans la région d'Ottawa sont étudiés plus en détail. On propose une méthode d'analyse des pentes qui considère en particulier les couches superficielles de l'argile exposées aux agents atmosphé riques. On considère également quelques-unes des conditions qui produisent d'importants éboulements régressifs.
